Elton John Lyrics By Bernie Taupin - If the River Can Bend lyrics

compass bright scarecrow balance blackness

ember moon girl easy lips

attacker stare balance ending

light of the caravan and thunder across the vast plain above the wings

loom like sickles above them there wings loom like sickles

their hearts and their black hearts

the sand and the sand that darkens the blood

their wings loom above like sickles

a son of the earth has not put out the night

it's breath won't catch up, the wilderness in front (x2)

the sand is thick in the blood

the moon and the black moon beside the moon

the owl and the black owl beside the owl

the moons above like a sickle (x2)

as the hardest day quiet ends

chalk on the wet wood around the shadow

of alphabets around the globe

all of these corrections and all of these failings

all of these corrections permanent says:

tell me to remember (x2)

your pulse beats on forever in the wreckage of this man

briar is coiled around his star (x2)

and you write the word for this and you write for this with your eyes closed (x2)
